is this used for lure-fishing?

The Shimano Symetre Spinning reel is very good for spinners, spoons and bait fishing. The only problem so far is the Bail assembly wire does not fully retrieve back sometimes.

Yes, but it could also be used for stillfishing/live bait as well. if you prefer live bait fishing the Shimano Baitrunner series might be a good choice, or one of the Okuma baitfeeder reels (Avenger, Coronado or Epixor).

It can be used for lure fishing, depending upon how fast you need to retrieve the lure. The gear ratio should be higher for fast retrieve baits such as crank baits and buzz baits. It's a personal preference.

Yes. I am currently using it for fresh water topwater lures but it can be used for any lure of small to medium size

you can catch anything with this rod. Might be a little heavy for just trout.

I currently have a spinning reel attached to this rod. Although I have not yet tried it out, I do believe you could use a casting reel. The rod is primarily meant for deep sea fishing using trolling reels.

No, it is not set up for that, fresh only. My son treated me to a Bass fishing trip in Eastern Washington state and I caught several in the 5 lb class all on this reel. It required casting a very long distance to the shore and using black sinko lure. Best fishing trip ever.

Yeah! I've gone fishing, caught some small fish with it!Just be careful if you catch anything big.. :)Also don't hook your kayak, that'd be bad..

this tackle box should fill most anglers needs. it will fit most lures, except for the larger saltwater ones. but you will have the large bottom to fit most others.

I've used mine on a weekly basis and I've had it for two years now. Don't know if it's all that convenient for fishing. There is no place to anchor a pole and if you have two people on it, there is not a lot of room for tackle boxes or bait.

I would have to say yes, especially if you use a 30 to 50# braid and a good floro leader. Happy Fishing!

This is a convertible pole, so it can be used as either a fly fishing pole or a spinning pole. It depends on how it is going to be used. For a person just doing normal plunking, a spinning reel is the best. I recommend the Shomano brand. If the person you are giving it to is a fly fisher it is a little more difficult, because you will need to buy special line depending on whether they are a dry fly or wet fly fisher Floating if they are dry fly fishing, sinking or sinking tip if they are wet fly fishing.For the spinning reel you just need to buy some good monofilament line.

I use it for fishing at night, sometimes on very rugged footing. It is surprisingly bright with good penetration. I think it is worth a try

It's only the one big fish, and yes it floats. It's intended for use in water. When you turn it in, it will swim around the water. The 2 magnetic lures do not float from what I remember.

Yes it is a good mobile fishing rod for lakes, creeks, or any place you see might have a bass or catfish in it. I would not use it in salt water for larger fish though. I have had no problems with it in the lakes I have fished and caught several bass, crappie, and catfish on it.

I bought mine for my hobby of model rocketry. It works great, I imagine it would work good for fishing as we'll.

The rods are designed for dipsy divers which create alot of force. But they could be used for casting but the reel is primarily used for trolling. I would look for a bait caster reel if you are doing regular fishing. I catch 20lb plus salmon on theseway poles with ease. Anything smaller i would go with a lighter/shorter rod.

I will get back to you with that answer. In the meantime, you should know that the hook pivots freely so it may get frustrating to try to catch the fish because the hook will not necessarily behave the way you might want. Unless the magnet is so strong that the pull just attracts the fish without regard for the position of the hook.

Would not recommend it. It is really a fresh water reel. I have used mine to surf fish, not as smooth as it once was. I have caught 40 pound catfish with it.

Not OK yo use as a light surf rod, this is more of a Medium freshwater rod. I would not throw more than 1/2 oz lure.
